WELCOME TO SKILLS ACTIVE FORWARD WEBSITE

SAF UK (Background)

Skills Active Forward (SAF) is based in West London. It was set-up in 2006. SAF's aim is to provide tailor made services for young people, who are excluded from mainstream activities because of their ethnicity and refugee status. In particular, these youth face a number of barriers, such as language difficulties, high unemployment levels and lack of social opportunities. Moreover there are high exclusion rates among these young people due to behavioural problems caused by family breakdown, standard of living and stress.

SAF services include Educational & Sports activities that encourage young people to reach their full potential as individuals thereby enabling them to mature into confident, responsible citizens, who can make a positive contribution to the local economy. SAF directs resources to young people who have the least opportunity to reach their potential; mainly the disadvantaged, the economically deprived and those in danger of exclusion from mainstream activities, such as work, education, training, social, family and community life.

Objectives of SAF:

  1. Contribute to the reduction of youth crime and anti-social behavior
  2. Activities are oriented towards creating Health Awareness etc.
  3. Homeless: Support the ability of young people to live independently
  4. Youth Social inclusion programs
  5. Sports & leisure recreation
  6. Education & skills training

SAF Values:

  • The Equal value of all persons
  • Respect and freedom for all,
  • Tolerance and Understanding between people of different opinions and we firmly believe in Unity In diversity.

SAF Vision for 2012

Our vision is to be known as an excellent, value for money voluntary organisation that meets young people's individual needs by developing vibrant, economically sound and accessible communities across West London. We would like to be seen as an organisation that believes in working in partnerships with the local borough's and other voluntary organisations.
